Now I have started schooling Ethel, I've discovered I find it very boring and just stick to the outside with an occasional circle, mainly in trot. So, I thought the best way to keep me (and Ethel) occupied in the school would be to find some very basic dressage tests, so we have something to work on and to stop me getting so bored. I'd like to do some walk-trot tests with her in a few months, so this will help us get ready for then. Where can I find some tests that I can print off and memorise for the next time I school her? Also, any other tips for keeping me interested in schooling will be appreciated :)
 
You have to buy the dressage tests as they are copyrighted. You can get them off ebay. When I haven;t had them I have watched youtube videos of tests and written them down to practice, but I think I paid £16 for all Intro and Prelims laminated sheets off ebay.

I have a good book off amazon called '100 schooling exercises' by Jaki Bell I think, it has loads of ideas for when schoolwork gets boring. I found it really useful as my horse tends to learn dressage tests off by heart if we practice them and then he ends up rushing in the test!
 
You could look at some of the BE tests not loads there but you can download them free and it would be a start. I'll put the link up in a second
